Entre trocar as fraldas (ou tentar não atrapalhar a Mima), ajudar a dar banho (aka: pegar a água e limpar a banheira depois) e trabalhar, realmente esta vida de pai toma tempo -especialmente tempo da madrugada hehehe Mas estamos de volta, prá comentar um parque que muita gente não gosta, pois é o 'diferente' da turma:…

Cross posted from the blog over at www.WDWPhotography.com Imagineering the Shot This shot came about on an interesting evening at EPCOT Center. I am usually one to shoot fireworks every single night I'm at the parks, and that usually involves me staking out a fireworks spot with my tripod about an hour before whichever show starts. But, my family decided that they wanted to spend the evening enjoying some of the attractions that Future World offers. Since we had saved up our Fastpasses for the day, I really couldn't say no. So, after an awesome evening ride on Test Track, I saw it. The only really nice sunset I got during my most recent trip. I very nicely told the family I would be right back, and sprinted over to Mission: Space and the Universe of Energy pavilions like an excited kid runs to the tree on Christmas morning. This particular shot is of one of my favorite exteriors to shoot in all of WDW, the Universe of Energy show building. This might be a slightly controversial thing to say, but I shoot ALL of my sunset shots as HDR's if possible. For example, I shot the Contemporary during a sunset from the Magic Kingdom boat, so setting up the tripod wouldn't quite work. I set up the tripod for this one though, and set my camera to shoot a bracket of [-2, 0, +2] with an aperture of f/7.1 and an ISO of 100. The ISO 100 is really important when doing HDR since sometimes the processing software can bring out a lot of unnecessary noise with higher ISO's. Since I didn't have my Ultra Wide Angle lens with me, I threw on my fisheye since I wanted to catch the whole pavilion with the entire flowerbed in it as well, since the flowers brilliantly mirror the paint scheme on the side of the building (Thanks Disney, you always make it too easy!). I did crop the photo significantly though to get rid of dead space and distractions. Then it was on to post. Magical Post Production Since this was an HDR, I ran it through Photomatix. I loved the warmer colors and tones from the evening, so I set the White Balance to 7500 in Photomatix. That helped really bring out the reds, oranges, and yellows in the sunset. I set the strength slider to 100, and pumped up the black and white points, and then moved into Photoshop. In the Camera Raw editor, I lowered the exposure to get rid of blown highlights, and added some blacks and raised the contrast, but not too much since the HDR processing tends to do that for you. Overcooking HDR is what we in the business call….not good. I actually lowered the luminance of the reds, oranges, and yellows to give the colors that really deep feel. I moved into Photoshop proper, and then went into Nik Color Efex Pro. I used the Tonal Contrast setting to help give that little last pop to the photo, sharpened her up, and into the "Please post me to WDWPhotography!!!" folder she went. Conclusion If you learned one thing from this post, I would hope that one thing is that Disney makes all of us photographers look a lot better than we really are. Seriously now, this is a pure example of why the Golden or Magic Hour of photography is one of the best times to shoot. The warmer colors and tones just lead to some really amazing stuff, and can let us know that from time to time, it's OK to skip the fireworks. But not too much.

From AllEars.net: Fantasy, folklore and festivity abound as you step into a German village where the sounds of Oktoberfest fill the air. In the center of the square is a statue of St. George and the dragon, which, according to legend, he slayed while on a pilgrimage to the Middle East. Monuments to St. George, the patron saint of soldiers, are common throughout Bavaria. The Biergarten reflects the 16th century town of Rothenberg. Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!

A lot changes have changed about EPCOT Center over the years. Attractions have come and gone, entertainment has changed, even Walt Disney World guests look different now than they did in 1982. Another thing that has changed is the printed material available in the park. Tickets, maps, and other ephemera have all changed. In some […]

Many would say that October 1, 1982 - the opening of EPCOT Center - was one of the very greatest days in Walt Disney World history.
Since opening day on October 1, 1982, EPCOT Center had walk-around meet & greet characters. The most famous of these were Figment & Dreamfinder, who are still sorely missed by Epcot fans (for more photos of them, check out our Vintage Journey into Imagination Photos page). There were also some other bizarre and short-lived characters, […]

This was the best patriotic Disney shot I had, so I figured it would be appropriate for the special day. If it weren't for those who have served our country, our American Adventure would either not exist, or would have came to a screeching halt a long time ago. View On Black!!! Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!
